They offer a variety of entrees that will keep you going back to try everything. I had the jerk chicken sandwich with the mac and cheese. The sandwich was delicious - I was expecting mostly meat, but there was corn and peppers that nicely complimented the chicken. The mac and cheese definitely had a little bit of a kick and also a bit of sweetness, so beware if you're sensitive to spice. Overall, all the flavors were delicious, The portions were definitely more than enough, and everything was reasonably priced. My order came out quickly, and they were very friendly! I have seen them delivering to various locations on UTMB campus, and they're also open to catering. Definitely come check this place out if you want to try some Jamaican food and support local businesses!

I went here for the first time earlier after just finding out about it yesterday. I ordered the…read moreJerk Chicken Meal with collard greens, plantains and rice n peas. Everything was so delicious, moist, flavorful and soft. The rice was just a little bland, but it was great in texture and made a nice filling carb for the meat n starch. The chicken was so tender, juicy, savory, bitter, spicy and a little sweet all in one. The flesh was juicy and the skin had some chew to it. It was coated in spices and some glaze. Very consistent and thankfully all dark meat pieces. The collard greens were refreshing, earthy and had a unique, buttery aroma to them. They weren't bitter like some recipes in other places. I love collard greens both exactly like this one and more on the bitter side too. The plantains were thick, creamy in feel and nicely sweet like a little dessert. Love plantains in all forms like I do greens. The service was very welcoming, friendly, helpful and efficient. I plan to also try the curry chicken and oxtails on future visits. I also really liked how the food at this Caribbean / Jamaican restaurant when dining in comes on presented plates as opposed to only cluttered in a takeout container like other places.

I've visited a few times since writing my first review and I hate to say it, but I've been…read moredisappointed every time. They are always, and I mean always out of something. I asked for a chicken roti, they were out, and out of any roti for that matter. My husband wanted curry goat, they were out of goat. I ended up getting a beef patty and jerk wings which were too tough, I could hardly chew them. I also ordered some Collard greens which were just okay. I overheard a phone order that they were processing where the person asked for red snapper fish, they were out of that. The only fish they had available was salmon. But if you take a look at their extensive menu you would see they offer many different types of fish. And lastly, we arrived at the rice and peas (which my husband calls them being stingy on the serving size). The amount of rice given is the smallest serving size of rice and peas I've ever seen served in a Caribbean restaurant. It's not nearly enough to go alongside the rest of the food. Be prepared if you order to go, you'll probably need to order a side of rice in addition to what they give you. The service is good, it's always good, they are friendly and helpful, but it doesn't make up for what they lack in food.

Nothing in the decor or atmosphere that makes you want to go there to have an experience, enjoy the sights and sounds, people watch, etc. Just eat. I got my order takeout. The young man working the register who took my order was very nice and professional. Good customer service. I ordered the large jerk chicken and a chicken patty, and I'm glad I did! It was really good. They are generous with the portions (could've used more plantains relative to the amount of everything else, but...) and the meal did not miss! I will definitely be back the next time I'm craving jerk chicken... for takeout!

You can tell right away it's authentic--everything from the curry chicken to the oxtail and roti is packed with flavor. It's not watered down for the masses, it tastes like somebody in the kitchen actually knows what they're doing. They've got that Trinidad influence too, which I appreciate. You don't see that everywhere. Stuff like doubles and buss up shut on the menu is a big deal if you know what you're looking at. Portions are solid, food comes out fresh, and overall it just hits. It's one of those spots where you keep thinking about the food after you leave. If you want real Caribbean flavor in Houston, this is one of the places you need to try.
